RE: FLASH: gradient mask

[Phillip Kerman]

Masks are effectively 1-bit.. though, really, with anti-aliasing, they're

more than that.  Basically, the only way I know to have a gradient mask, is

to put the gradient IN the MASKED layer (not the MASK layer).


I doubt the effect you originally asked for is requires frame-by-frame

animation.
